If you don't have administrator privilages - get with your administrator.

Do a search on the net - you might find something to untangle all the possible references to "root" in the Xampp package.

You can always install php, mysql, and Apache seperately. Mysql will ask for your user password, but it will be launched from the preference panel seperately from Apache. Any time you start web sharing you will need the administrator's password anyway unless it is unlocked already.

Thanks for your reply. The reason why I want to run it without administrator privileges: there are users which I don't want to give administrator privileges but they have to work with xampp.
